SIA's passenger carriage down in May on back of weak long-haul traffic

America and Europe routes were the main drag.

Singapore Airlines reported that its systemwide passenger carriage slipped 4.2% year-on-year in May, on back of continued weakness in its long-haul routes.

SIA experienced weak passenger demand on Americas and Europe routes, while demand improved for East Asian routes.

Its subsidiaries SilkAir and Scoot recorded passenger carriage growth, while loss-making Tigerair experienced lower passenger carriage due to a decrease in capacity.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
